coat of arms

Blazon : "In green a silver pole accompanied by a silver flight."

The connection to the nearby Elbe is represented by the pole. The peculiarity that up to 70,000 bean geese and white-tailed geese overwinter here every year is unique and is expressed by the flight. In addition, the Anhalt princes hunted water fowl here earlier.

The coat of arms was designed in 2002 by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch .

Personalities

The chemist and entrepreneur Walther Schrauth (1881–1939) died in Rodleben.
